MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE Series
Compact Precision Limit Switches
All MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE Series compact enclosed switches incorporate fluorocarbon diaphragm sealing to
provide reliable protection, meeting IP65, IP66, IP67, and IP68, as well as NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, and 13 require-
ments. Versions with a boot seal also meet NEMA 12 requirements (dust, falling dirt, liquid media with solid contami-
nates). The cable or connector and basic switch terminals are encapsulated in an epoxy sealant, offering excellent
resistance in harsh environments. For low temperature applications (down to -40 °C, -40 °F), CE Series switches can
be supplied with low temperature seals and lubricant.
The CE Series switches are rugged and versatile switches which can be applied indoors in many harsh factory floor
applications, as well as on outdoor equipment in extreme temperatures. A full range of actuators are available, includ-
ing plain plungers, roller plungers, side rotary, multi-directional wire, and manually operated. The switches are also
available with the industry standard, M12 micro-change 4-pin connector. MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE products meet
worldwide CE requirements.

Features
and Benefits
RUGGED, COMPACT CONSTRUCTION
MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE Series limit switches’ compact construction requires
minimal real estate on equipment.
Consistent performance is delivered in
many demanding environments where petroleum, synthetic or water based fluids
are present. Its die-cast zinc housing and fluorocarbon diaphragm seal maintain
a tightly sealed, IP65/66/67/68 and NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, 12 (boot seal), 13
rugged package.
Gang-mounting option
CUSTOMIZATION
Switches are
pre-leaded
(harmonized CENELEC cable) or supplied with a
M12
four-pin connector
to decrease installation time. 14CE Series’ wide selection
of actuators
minimize installation or time issues.
Cable length variations are
available for equipment requiring different cable lengths with side and bottom exit
cable/connector options for equipment flexibility.
COMPACT DESIGN
Rugged, compact switch designed with the common
25 mm mounting
centers.
The 14CE Series is engineered with MICRO SWITCH™ SM switches for
consistent, precise actuation.
High performance switch for small spaces
LONG LIFE
Mechanical life up to five million cycles for wobble actuators, and up to ten million
cycles for all other actuators delivers
long-lasting performance.
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Gang mounting capability provides a
multi-plunger limit switch option. Low
temperature variants
are available for indoor and outdoor applications.
GLOBAL APPLICATIONS
MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE limit switches have
CE
approval for world-wide use.
